The Cubs dominated the Phillies in a shutout win in the Friday opener, then got thumped on Saturday to square the series. Ben Brown ran into a spot of bother in the 4th inning as the Phillies dinked and dunked their way to a series of singles and a double to rack up six runs. While some of the contact was legit, a few of the hits were super cheap. Either way, the Cubs were buried early.
Now they’ve got a chance to take the series on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, making this the second game in a row with a national broadcast booth.
